"It's Humorous, Greatness Like That"

The Golden State Warriors finally lost tonight, 108-95, in Milwaukee. Yes, they are human, but commentators are brimming with superlatives as the 24-1 Warriors are off to the best start of any team in NBA history.

Sports Illustrated: How the Warriors evolved small ball and, in the process, the NBA.

538 Sports: How The Golden State Warriors Are Breaking The NBA.

CBS Sports: 5 things to know: Warriors' Stephen Curry is destroying everybody.

ESPN: How the small-ball virus has infected the NBA.
Perhaps the league is rushing to copy a model that can't be copied. Curry is a revolutionary.....no one has figured out the Warriors.
The Warriors' dominance will end as it usually does in sports--age, injury, the competition's counter-measures, the rise of other young superstars--but for now and the next few years fans everywhere are enjoying the show. Back to the Chron's Scott Ostler:
Pat Riley...said after watching Stephen Curry in a recent game, “He put up 20 points in a row and I just laughed. It’s humorous, greatness like that.”
